'A car traveling probably 50 miles an hour drove out of the neighborhood and sideswiped a Dodge Durango, and then she turned the corner, ran over the curb, and continued down the street,' said Merrill.
The vehicle driven by a woman flipped into a ditch alongside Goodman Road.
Merill said when he arrived on the scene, the woman was bouncing around the inside of the car saying prayers. He tried to help her get out, and she said 'I'm not taking any outside help.'
He says paramedics arrived and transported the victim. Police have not released the charges against Stevenson or how she was able to take control of the emergency vehicle.
A spokesperson told WREG one employee received minor injuries, but no patients were injured, and emergency room operations were not affected by the crash.
